As promised, my best effort at updating the happenings in our office (minus the endless coffee breaks!):

Designs for the 10/11 range have been received via email this morning, the intention is for the new design to compliment the existing Portierre range. Some designs work and some clearly don't (sorry designers, but we're paying you enough!). I can see we'll be busy with tweaks on these for a few days. We have recently also received samples of some designs and, much as it shouldn't, but work in the office stops whilst we play with the new gloves! The excitement the DHL driver causes when he brings that cardboard box into the office is unreal! My kids don't get this excited at Christmas! (Well, OK they do...but we're adults and they're 3 and 4!)

My business partner is in discussions with a couple more Pro's, they may come off, they may not - that's the nature of our business though to be honest we're happy with the lads we've recruited currently and each give us the feedback we need to grow and develop. All of our endorsees get the opportunity to have input into the features etc and we are just collating the feedback for the Legend samples we despatched late last month. Feedback is encouraging, as is early consumer interest but sadly we are going to make you all wait!

I'm going to have to crack on now, I've got glove bundles on my desk to be despatched to Canada, Germany and Austria in the morning so can't leave the office until I'm all FedExed out! Hmmmm, is that the kettle boiling...............?!
